Many Brazilians or foreigners have lived in Japan but had to return to Brazil or their country of origin for various reasons. And this can lead to a great longing for some things that are only possible in Japan.

In this article, we will address what those who go from Japan to Brazil miss the most about Japan. Things that usually only exist in that country where they spent a large part of their lives.

Longing for Places in Japan

Cities and Neighborhoods – There are thousands of places we can miss, such as: Tokyo, Kyoto, Akihabara, Osaka, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Hokkaido, and Okinawa.

Ofuro – Almost all apartments and houses in Japan have a bathtub; is there anything better than that?

Climate – Sometimes a person gets quite used to the cold and snow of Japan, and returning to the hot and dry climate of Brazil can make them miss the cold and snow;

Japanese bathrooms are extravagant, modern, and smart in almost every place, including public ones;

Service and first-class reception in all service sectors in the country, regardless of location and audience;

Train Stations – Speed and comfort, and access to the entire country with train lines;

• Standardized sidewalks and pothole-free asphalt on the streets;
• Wet towels in restaurants and cafes to clean hands;
• Paying for some materials bought at the front door when sent by mail.

Longing for Japanese Food

Hanbaiki – The vending machines that sell everything, even located in deserted places, are greatly missed;

Food – There are countless different varieties of foods, sweets, and snacks. It’s impossible not to miss something;

Convenience Stores – Who wouldn’t miss the efficient 24-hour convenience stores where you could buy everything;

Onigiri – Simple, tasty, and cheap food;

Longing for Life in Japan

Safety – One of the main factors for those returning to Brazil is the lack of safety; that peace of going out without any worries on the street is gone. Walking at any hour, with money and cell phones in your pocket without the danger of being robbed or shot;

Decent salary – Despite the high cost of living, who doesn’t miss earning 7,000 Reais instead of 900. The minimum wage in Japan varies between 200,000 to 400,000 yen. In addition to being able to buy electronics at a low cost;

Silence – Who doesn’t miss that peace, where you can sleep during the day without hearing noises from sounds, cars, etc.;

Education – You will miss it a lot! a lot! a lot!

Japanese Language – Sometimes you get used to words: gomen, yoroshiku, daijoubu, Otsukaresama, arigatou, hai, and end up accidentally speaking them or missing them;

Removing shoes – Possibly those who spent many years in Japan miss this;

Having more job opportunities.

There are thousands of things I could mention. I couldn’t describe even 10% of the possible longings for Japan. Leave your comment on what you missed the most or think you will miss the most when leaving Japan.
